The Daily DOOM will be remaining on hiatus until next week at the earliest due to factors beyond my control. As much as I enjoy bringing stories of financial perfidy, failure, and catastrophe to the Moron Horde, real-life work intrudes and since that gig pays my bills, it only makes financial sense to screw you guys instead.
Happy New Year, Morons.

Rand had always been careful to distance himself ideologically from Crazy Old Dad... But now he's suddenly morphed into Stinky Ron's chief spokesman. I don't think that will help Rand's long term political prospects.

Oh and come on Perry. A third place win would be big. Romney will sweep NH and it is likely that Bachmann will drop out after a last place finish in Iowa. They will lessen the split between the conservative vote and increase his chances of doing well in the later states.

Well, stereotypes come into existence for a reason, and it is absolutely true that the only international bankers- for centuries, really- were the Jews. The various Arabic peoples didn't have the money, or the commercial ties to do so; the Europeans were the ones doing the borrowing (also, the Church frowned upon lending money at interest, and when you're talking about European Monarchs, lending w/o interest may as well have been called "a gift."). So the only people who could lend the money and would do so were the Jews.
And it's true that, because of a variety of issues, they charged fairly punitive interest, even by today's standards. No the least of those issues was simply the cost of delivering the money in the first place (since everyone worked with actual bullion or coin for so long, lending money was highly dangerous).
So the "Bankers = Teh JOOOOOS!" was a valid stereotype for a long time.
But that's not true anymore (you're more likely to find them in Jewelry or the medical professions, as I understand it).
As for conflating the Communists with the Jews... ummm... I guess so? I don't see how that works, but I'll take your word for it.

Well, I guess that resolves it then. I must be wrong about the NDAA, there is nothing to worry about, I guess I'll just move along, nothing to see there at all.
The politicians must be lying again when they say this act can be used against a US citizen who can be deemed a terrorist without proof, and can be held indefintely as a result. And the DHS documents that specify who can be identified as a terrorist are all misprints. And the Obama signing statement, where in he does say he has the power to do this but will not use it, must have the valid weight of Law. After all he has never broken a promise before. Nor a law.
Golly, I sure was confused, glad to be straightened out.

>>I think Bachmann would stay on and help her man Romney to the very end, she's sold her soul months ago
It's hard to stay on with no money. Campaigns are expensive and she's going to be dead last in NH as well. She put all her apples in the Iowa basket. If she can't even place in the top 5, then what's the point of continuing. Besides, she can help Romney by dropping out and endorsing him. It won't cost her anything, he'll probably pay off her campaign debt, and she'll get to travel around the country with him to events and increase her name recognition.
I predict she drops out if she comes in last in Iowa, which is a real possibility.

Because they've figured out the Libertarian Party will never win a National Election. The Republican Party can.
They don't realize that the reason the LP can't win a national election is that only about 20% (if that) of the American People really identify with their platform, and most of those are Republicans.
